[C2C Crochet] The First day advent calendar bag (corner to corner technique) .

My collection of cup coasters is already very large. And I decided to use these coasters to make my idea come true. I want to make little bags for the advent calendar. On one side of such a bag there will be a ready-made square (coaster for the cup), and on the other side there will be a square with the image of a Christmas tree ball with the number of the day.

In this step-by-step tutorial, I'll introduce you to crochet with a corner-to-corner crochet technique that I use to crochet a First day advent calendar bag. I suggest you crochet just such a First day advent calendar bag with the image of a Christmas ball with number 1.

I made the first Christmas tree ball square pattern with the number 1.

Fasten the working thread on the wrong side to hide it.

The C2C pattern for the first side of the Advent calendar bag can be found on the blog - https://diycrochetlily.blogspot.com/2021/11/c2c-crochet-christmas-snowflake-c2c.html

To create an Advent calendar bag, sew two squares on three sides, leaving the top open. Next, on the upper sides, you need to crochet several rows with a double crochet. Closer to the edge, you will need to crochet a sequence with a double crochet with chain space between doble crochet to make a section for the lace with ties for the bag. The number of lace holes must be even.

After this row, you need to crochet 2 more rows of double crochet.

Crochet a lace for the Advent calendar bag in a way convenient for you. Thread the lace through the holes and tighten.

The first advent calendar bag is ready. If desired, you can sew a fabric lining into this bag. You can decorate the top edge of the advent calendar bag.

Finished size of a Christmas ball with number 1 С2С advent calendar bag: 5,5"×7" although yours may be slighting smaller or bigger depending on your tension.

In my Boosty store you can buy C2C blanket patterns.
